This is a duplicate. If I could remove it I would. Please reply to the "other" post...

So I edited the file using Nano (rather than BBEdit and the issue resolved. There must have been some undisplayable code at the beginning of the echo lines that was causing an issue. Very odd. But, after the Nano edit I reopened in BBEdit and turned on invisibles and I don't see any hidden characters. Too bad I didn't check that before I used Nano...

Yep. And thanks for taking a look.
